Possible coronavirus exposure announced at high school in Surrey

Students and staff at Panorama Ridge Secondary school in Surrey are being notified of “a confirmed COVID-19 individual” who was at the school on September 16, 2020.

In a letter, Surrey School District Superintendent Jordan Tinney writes that “public health staff have initiated contact tracing to identify any staff and students that need to self-isolate or monitor for symptoms.”

Receipt of the letter, he notes, “does not mean you have been exposed to COVID-19.”

The notice for Panorama Ridge is the third such notice since the start of the school year, after officials said an individual who tested positive for COVID-19 attended the school on September 8, as well as on September 10.
